Sestice upstairs was awesome! Great drinks and she was awesome!! We came by boat and they have good parking as well.

My husband had Ahi tuna. Our friends got crabcakes and fried shrimp. They said their food was decent. I got a ribeye as a recommendation from the bartender. It was thin, grizzly and terrible. Can't even believe a business would serve that to a paying customer. The worst $32 steak I ever had. Only a small portion was edible and the baked potato was old and dry. read more

Had a great evening - food was delicious and the portions generous. Had gator bites for the first time ever (were from Ohio) and was pleasantly surprised. Haddock and shrimp basket was piping hot and delicious. Highly recommend stopping here. Met two of the owners - they were so gracious. Next time we'll time it to see a beautiful sunset. read more

Excruciatingly disappointed with what was supposed to be a special meal. Entire party left feeling upset after waiting almost 2 hours to be served. Elderly ailing parent had been looking forward to dinner with family here for weeks- seated at 5:30 on a weekday and ordered as soon as someone would take our order. Took ages to get drinks and appetizer came out after 6pm, with only one beverage refill over the course of 2 hours. After 7pm, 4 of the 7 meals trickled out and we were told the other 3 (including the ailing parent and a toddler waiting patiently for a kids meal) would be out soon. After 20 minutes the 3 remaining meals still had not been served and when kindly asked when the rest of the food would come out a server very angrily & defensively argued that "the hot food had to come out first, we are very busy". You kidding me? We are steps from the kitchen and you serve half of the table and the rest has to wait almost 30 minutes to get their food? After being dismissed by the servers (still waiting on 2 meals) and asking to talk to the manager repeatedly, she continued to hide in the kitchen. When she finally came out she complained that it was trivia night and that was as good as they could do. The wait time for food is one thing, but serving half the table and being irritated when asked when the other half of the meals would arrive (you guys all see the child and man in a wheelchair still waiting!) is out of control. The manager assured us she "would take care of it" and then came back later with around 30% off the check. Really negative experience, had heard good things about their food but without a doubt not worth it. Needed that time to be a nice dinner together and management really dropped the ball. Kitchen in total disarray. Would not go back. read more

We had a group of 10 adults. Lindsey B. Was our server. She took our orders, made sure everyone got the drinks and appetizers, and our meals. The shrimp and grits and grilled cedar plank salmon were delicious. Everyone ordered something different and enjoyed their meals. Excellent service, good and ambiance. The sunset was beautiful tonight. read more

Great atmosphere and really good food. Service was great! You even get a great view of lake Eustis while you eat. A new one to add to our favorites list. read more

From the time we walked in, the staff was Very Friendly. The restaurant is clean and has great views. The food is Very Good!

The food was good and had a great local feel. We went on a busy day and that was probably not a smart idea on our part. We will try again on a quieter day read more

Management is poor, they do not train the wait staff. At Bingo night upstairs and no manager around. Food is ok, not great read more

We were there on Sunday, September 17, 2023. The staff were extra friendly and helpful. The outdoor seating is dog friendly. We had the macadamia crusted haddock for $23 - it was not very bland - Breading didn't have much flavor, and the sauce that came with that was watery and had no taste. It wasn't served with lemons. We asked for some other kind of sauce that would be good with fish and some tartar sauce & lemon as well. It was a little bit better, but not too much. It was served with white rice with a few pieces of fresh cilantro on the top.... That didn't have any flavor either we added some salt and pepper to see what we could do - even some tartar sauce, but it was kind of a lost cause. This is usually served with a side of asparagus, but they were out, so we had fries- The fries were good. We've had the crabcakes for $22. They weren't horrible. Just not a lot of flavor. Once again, we asked for lemon tartar sauce, and more of the garlic aïoli-but even that had no flavor. This is also typically served with asparagus I had broccoli instead. I give them a star for service and ambience, and one for food. We have been here before but just for a happy hour and we had a good experience so we're going to give it another try. read more

We had such a good experience. The waitress was friendly and helpful. She attended to our table consistently. Well done. The food and wine were delicious and a cut above. We tried the grilled grouper. Perfect. Clean, well maintained facility. The views and vibe is a really great Florida eatery at its best. read more

This was our second visit to the Waterfront Grill but it will definitely not be our last. Both times the food was outstanding. I am now officially hooked on their grouper sandwich, especially with the asparagus - perfectly prepared. My wife has some mobility issues and Slade came to our rescue. Service was attentive without being invasive. Jay, our waiter, was there when we needed him and not there when we just wanted to enjoy the fantastic views from the second-floor dining room. We will be back- regularly. read more

Large portions of tasty seafood. I had the shrimp basket, which is enough for two meals. My partner had crab cakes. They were large with very good sauce. Very generous serving of freshly prepared french fries. The price was in line with pricing at other seafood restaurants. Very good service, too. read more

chicken Alfredo was really bad. I've had better frozen dinners from Stouffer's and it gave me stomach problems.

Went on a Wednesday for lunch and they were slammed with large groups. Had to park across the street as the lord were full. There was a slight wait for the table but we were seated on the screened porch. The server was great and the hostess checked back twice (so apologetic for the wait). All the staff were friendly several and checked in with us The atmosphere is nice with a beautiful view and the food was delicious. Prices were reasonable and the have Coke Zero. read more

Good atmosphere. The day we came it must have been a rush hour as service and food took forever. Maybe next time it will be better.

My husband and I are new residents of Mount Dora and found this waterfront gem while exploring the surrounding areas. Fantastic sunset views with large outdoor patio. The gentlemen working the host stand was very kind. They have a great sized bar and upstairs dining area. We visited on a Sunday night and Samantha was our server. She was friendly, professional and upbeat. We loved being able to enjoy a breeze from the waterfront. They just added a smaller sized outside bar area by the marina which we will def try next time. We enjoyed the steak bites as an app. Portion size was good, there were a few chewy pieces but overall good flavor. I enjoyed the grilled haddock which I can never find here in Florida! My husband said his burger was prepared to the correct temp and had good flavor, fries were good. We will def be back and look forward to this being a regular spot to enjoy. read more

The location and views were great. Restaurant was clean and well decorated. We had very high hopes. Unfortunately, the food was not very good. We ordered the chicken and Maui sandwiches. The buns were not toasted and not super fresh either. Fresh, toasted buns would have made a huge difference. The pineapple on the chicken sandwich was not grilled as specified, chicken was over cooked and dry, and it really could have used some more sauce. The Maui was sadly not fresh and tasted awful. We will not be back. read more

i love eating and playing bingo after work...lots of fun the servers are amazing and friendly read more

Great view of the lake. Cocktails are creative and actually contain alcohol and are not watered down. The steak bites were tender. Best part was the pineapple upside down cake. Recommend it! I am 6'1". read more

Our first time here and we were impressed. Atmosphere is great. We sat upstairs at the bar, great waterfront views. We ordered the bacon wrapped scallops, which were delicious, $13.99, a little pricey, but sea scallops are expensive to begin with. Then we ordered the Cesar salad with salmon and the Strawberry avocado salad. Both were delicious. Adding the salmon to the salad was an extra $8.00, which made for an expensive salad. The drinks were reasonably priced. The staff members were all very nice and accommodating. Would definitely eat there again. Plenty of parking, if you park across the street in the lot, there is a nice lighted walk way so you don't have to cross the street. read more

Lake Eustis Waterfront Grill is a great location with a deck directly on the water of Lake Eustis. Seating is comfortable and service is excellent. the menu is extensive with a lot of Cajun items which from our experience were excellent. We will return later this month For sure and plan to dine there often read more

Y'all, I went for seafood and ended up trying the "Not Your Mama's Bologna Sandwich". It was so good! I'm going to blame Bobby Baker because he posted fried bologna biscuits a couple days ago. And Sadie provided outstanding service! Even after 4 unsweetened teas she offered me one to go. I'll be back soon for the Macadamia Crusted Haddock! read more

Great location right on lake Eustis, which is beautiful and peaceful at night. The fish and chips was SO GOOD! You get so much food too. The sweet potato fries were huge and tasty, though I've had better sweet potato fries. I liked the sweet potato fries better than the normal fries. The broccoli was also outstanding, perfectly cooked in butter. The snickerdoodle martini was also delicious. Our waitress was great, when the kitchen brought out wrong orders, she quickly fixed the mistakes and made sure we had everything we were supposed to. The only knock I'd give this place is that the water tastes swampy. read more

The view is great and the food was delicious. We had a great experience and our waitress was attentive.

Nice to sit on the patio in the shade and enjoy the breeze off the lake on a sunny, mild Friday. The restaurant is clean, has a small list of craft beers, and a decent menu. I wish they had more grilled or blackened seafood options instead of fried, but the breading was easy to remove from the shrimp. The French fries were hot and crispy. Service was good. read more

Had a few lunches with family at Lake Eustis Waterfront restaurant. Their service and food, even the ambiance was very good. As expected for this type restaurant. However, one experience tainted our view. We were part of a reservation party of eight. Mind you that is 8 reserved a day ahead of the time. We arrived after the party hosts who were in upstairs room. When we arrived we were told the reservation was changed from up stairs. WE WERE BUMPED to downstairs OUTSIDE THE KITCHEN, the noisiest location in restaurant. The elderly host was escorted from upstairs. All our guests were over 70 years old. I'm not done with this review! We ordered our dinners. I wanted the only non-dairy dinner available. After all other guests were served, AND EATING, I was informed they didn't have pulled pork sandwich. I had to select another dinner. UGH another burger, no cheese. They were so understanding, since it took at least 10 more minutes they brought out a Salad with, you guessed it, CHEESE! After getting the food we were ignored by staff. There was no asking if we wanted refills or if everything was good. The party host was charged for all the food including the salad I didn't order and the dinner I would rather not have. Take home message: don't book a party at Lake Eustis Waterfront, your party may be bumped, they may run out of the food you want and be charged for everything. The servers were overwhelmed and although moving about, did not pay sufficient attention to our table RIGHT OUTSIDE THE KITCHEN! read more

Excellent! Great service and great food ! Nice outdoor dining. Loved the view... I would go again.

Lake Eustis Waterfront Grill is a great place to spend your afternoon. Ample parking- they have parking across the street with a walking path under the bridge to get to the restaurant. Have a dog? Bring them! They offer outdoor seating with a great waterfront view. Wait staff was excellent. Very friendly and available. Food choices were great as well. This place was pretty full mid afternoon. Wow! Great place!!! We will definitely be back. Thank you for a great afternoon!! read more

Boy, seriously disappointing. It seems no one is happy to be there... overworked and underpaid possibly? Strange energy. Food is mediocre. I think people go there to eat by the lake. read more
